I have an interview for a Media Researcher position with BSkyB tomorrow, which I think is a pretty big deal. It is a little bit daunting thinking of all the people who must have applied for the role but it's great to have even been considered for an interview.

This week is a bit Etsy-centric because I might have gone a bit mad and had one day last week where basically all I did was browse Etsy, but then, I was ill so what else was I supposed to do? And I've found some quite pretty things, so it's not technically an unproductive use of time...

Here's my nails, but sadly they've chipped and don't look like this anymore.

How great has the weather been for the last few days? What a weird month, snow and now this, crazy. It's nice to not have to be in a scarf and coat at all times, but I'm on edge, knowing how indecisive British weather has a tendency to be, particularly as Spring makes it's way in. Still, a good excuse to wear some different clothes and have a clear out.

My internship might be finishing early and end this week, it's been a bit of a struggle to find things for me to do recently.

Smart flats.
A big handbag
A box
Pretty filing stationery.

Just putting this out there as a quick warning, with exactly a week to go until Valentine's Day, this post might creep in a few heart-shaped things.

Pretty much don't need to tell you that I thought The Maccabees were absolutely amazing on Thursday night, probably the best that I've ever heard them sound. It was a bit of a shame because Moon had bought us circle tickets and for some reason we weren't allowed to stand up at all (but we all did at the end and it was amazing to intoruthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02209013825661248794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9016787777126722536.post-55467268613183206952012-01-26T14:25:00.001Z2012-01-26T14:26:40.012ZSharing.I'm just dumping this here for my reference because I'll probably forget ASOS exists or something and then their 30-day stint on my 'Save for Later' list will be over and they'll be lost forever.
But just so it's not just a wish-list post, here is how my nails look at the moment. I like this photo, the bokeh from my top is quite nice.

So, on Monday, as I mentioned yesterday, Jake, a lovely guy I met on the Ready for Work march back in October tweeted me asking if I would go up to Embankment to meet him and take some photos for the organisation he campaigns for, Body Gossip.
The march was a union of women against the unnecessary but unavoidable pressure to diet and 'better ourselves' during the post-Christmas period. intoruthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02209013825661248794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9016787777126722536.post-75291573178457361072012-01-17T10:14:00.000Z2012-01-17T10:14:50.034ZTuesday Tabs. #2I was getting mega worried that after deciding to make this 'a thing' that I then wouldn't have anything to show you this week, but then a ton of stuff made it to the hoarding list within the last couple of days.

While I see the advantage of this, it is also incredibly time-consuming and arguably a lot of the time, unnecessary, particularly if you're always going for similar roles. However, what better way to apply for a graduate role at a design/advertising agency by showing them that you can basically copy their design?

I've been feeling very out of sync recently and not really up for much. I've not taken any photographs since coming back from Cornwall really and I haven't been sleeping very well.

Dear Kingston Jobcentre Plus,
I am writing to make a formal complaint about how my claim has been handled within the last few weeks. Since the lead up to and beginning my unpaid internship with Ink Global Publishing, I believe that Jobcentre Plus has been both incredibly unhelpful and unsupportive.

Pretty intense, exciting stuff, but I've had experience shooting events before so in that sense getting the images wasn't too much of a problem.
